Generation 6 of Pokemon announced...why am I not surprised(*grumble* still wanted gen 3 remake...*grumble*) But the one shot of the female protagonist... I have a wig in that color! Might end up cosplaying her depending on how the rest of her outfit looks.

A new Pokemon? Cool! Do you think you could post a link? My google is not coming up with anything relevant...

Oops sorry I meant I thought Gen 5 was the one I disliked.. I got 4th and 5th Gen mixed, my bad! Gen 5 is the one with Zekrom and stuff right? It's that one I meant. Gen 4 had many I disliked too but Gen 5 even more so. Although there are of course some nice ones in Gen 5, I don't dislike everything. XD

Although about the new generation I'm also really liking the fire starter and the two legendaries, especially the deer one.. just like you. XD

Yup, Gen 5 was with Zekrom and Reshiram. Gen 5, I only really liked the legendaries and Zoroark. XD I already have friends thinking of doing gijinkas already. I'm just going to wait until the female protagonist is revealed before planning anything.

The deer thing reminds me of the forest guardian from Princess Mononoke.

So I'm not the only one who thinks that. xD I'm so tempted to do a gijinka of Fennekin. I love foxes (especially fennec foxes) and fire/electric is my all time favorite type. But I'm like you. I want to wait and see what the characters and new pokemon look like before I start anything. I'm just so glad the games come out in Oct. I always enter this big costume contest for Halloween with a pokemon costume. And now I'll know for sure that everyone will know my cosplay! (every other person asked me what my costume was when I did Suicune last year. T^T New pokemon fans just don't appreciate Kanto or Johto.)

So somehow my money has worked out so that I was able to order two cosplays within a week of each other. Ririchiyo was ordered and should be in by a couple of weeks time (first TRUE female cosplay, whoo~), so that's definitely something to look forward to. :3
The other is my first costume I'm getting commissioned, this version of Ciel that I just sent the payment and measurements for. I'm actually getting to do another Ciel cosplay, oh my gah I'm excited. I just need to get plushies for Ririchiyo and a lot of accessories (and a plushie) for Ciel, then I'm either going to take a break from getting costumes until June or decide between trying to pull Aria (the Scarlet Ammo) together, or something simple like casual clothes for Ririchiyo, Homestuck, or something Deathnote. I'm leaning towards a break to spend money on things I personally want, though, since I can rewear Ciel or Ririchiyo at Seishuncon; the only con I'd have the opportunity to wear anything at. Overall, my con schedule is really busy this year, but it's full of characters I love and I'm excited for it :3

Also, I'm getting to be Silica with the best Asuna in existence and a guy at my school is being Kirito and I could possibly cosplay Yui with him and I'm having a whole bunch of SAO feelings

So I kinda want to do a crossplay now... the only thing keeping me back is my height. I know we always say, "Cosplay's for fun, don't let physical givens stop you!" but I always feel weird crossplaying since I'm 5 ft nothing and most anime guys are uber tall (as well as everyone else in comparison to me orz)... And this particular crossplay I can't even use height adding insoles... So now I am having an internal debate with myself...

You should crossplay anyway! : D We are the same height and the person I'm cosplaying that I've cumulatively spent the most time, energy, and money on is 10 inches taller than me in real life. It's still fun, and the new challenge is to get costume proportions right to compensate for the height difference.

I'm debating false eyelashes for my next two cosplays... Quorra and Twilight Sparkle. Quorra's got these HUGE eyelashes going on when you look closely, and I figured with the big girly pony eyes, I'd get some false eyelashes. Since, yeah, I have practically no eyelashes. But I know CRAP-ALL about them. No idea what to get, how to put them on, take them off, etc.

There's a vibe here that says "We're in this together!Through thick and thin fabric! Through cold water washes and burning hot irons! Though we might super glue ourselves to our projects, cut holes/gashes/oh-god-mom's-gonna-kill-me into the dining room table, we will stand strong together. Unless there is a 75% off sale at the Fabric store. Then you're on your own. And get the hell out of my way."<3

I just learned that Ahn!Con is being held at the same hotel the first two Motakus were held. I hated that hotel and it was the main reason I didn't go to Motaku's second year. But it seems the place was bought by Ramada so it's probably better now than it was back then. The name change threw me, so I didn't realize it was the same hotel.

To explain how bad this hotel was, a male housekeeper came into my room in the middle of the night. Being a woman alone, that is a really terrifying incident. Their excuse was that nighttime housekeeping didn't get an updated list of which rooms were occupied and that I must have checked in late. I checked in around 4 PM, I'm pretty sure his shift started after that and they should be printing the list the second he starts.

...well....that semi awkward moment when you realize you already have a few things for a crossplay you'd been trying not to think about. I guess this is what happens when I forget to put things away. When this would happen...I'm not sure yet...but...I already have an almost perfect photoshoot location in mind too.
But....it will happen.
Save me.

You shouldn't let height slow you down, I'm short as well. I'm an inch off from being legally classified as a 'little person' and really there aren't many characters my height and the ones that are, are well, children.
Nobody is going to give you a hard time for being taller or shorter than the character~

Yup, Gen 5 was with Zekrom and Reshiram. Gen 5, I only really liked the legendaries and Zoroark. XD

Yeah, kinda same thing for me. XD But I do like Samurott, Zebstrika, Braviary and Sawsbuck too lol. But yeah, most Pokémon in Gen 5 I'm just "meh" about. But the legendaries are cool, especially Reshiram. I already have a gijinka design for year X when I do it. XD
